French fries in fat are a classic dish of Belgian cuisine, considered a true symbol of the country's culinary art. Historically, Belgians prefer to fry potatoes in beef or other animal fat, giving them a unique rich flavor and crispy crust. Golden, aromatic, with a soft center and crunchy edges, this snack is perfect as a standalone dish or as a side to meat and fish. The potatoes are cut into strips, dried, and double-fried in boiling fat, making them especially airy inside. Sprinkled with salt, they become the perfect combination of simplicity and flavor richness. Traditionally served with various sauces, especially mayonnaise. A true gastronomic delight for connoisseurs!
